To her, the city is like a deep hole that gives her various images. She finds the people getting increasingly money-minded and pressed for time. The economic and mental state of the people is an indication of the degradation of mankind. It is these strong feelings that come across in Manik's paintings. Manik prefers watercolour and acrylic as her medium. She admires the work of Atul Dodiya and Bhupen Khakkar. She paints for her own satisfaction and would like to teach art at some point. Manik completed her B.F.A. in Painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai (1999). She is currently doing her M.F.A. - I with a specialization in Creative Painting at the same institute.
